Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), established in 1990 is an Autonomous Scientific Society under Department of Information Technology (MIT), Govt. of India dedicated to R&D on Electronic Materials. It has three laboratories located in Pune, Hyderabad and Thrissur.
To achieve objectives of C-MET, the mission statement has been defined.

C-MET's MISSION

To develop knowledge base in electronic materials and their processing to support related Industries and to become a source of critical electronic materials, know-how and technical services.
This mission is set with a vision.

C-MET's VISION

Before 2010AD, C-MET will become a premier R&D organization known all over the world for its knowledge base, innovations and expertise in Electronic Materials.

MAJOR ACTIVITIES OF C-MET

CMET's R&D activities at present include development of thick film materials, polymers for electronics, specialty chemicals and glasses, ultra high purity and refractory metals, semiconductors, electronic ceramics and fine powder processing. C-MET undertakes joint R&D, sponsored research, technology transfer and consultancy projects and provides technical services.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

C-MET carries research and development on electronic materials and their processing keeping in view the development in the electronic and IT industry all over the world. Many of these programme are for advanced electronic materials and processes with partial funding coming from various national and international funding agencies.

SPONSORED RESEARCH

C-MET will partner industry(ies) in developing new materials and processes useful to the electronic s and information technology sector under sponsored research projects. The work may include new product ideas, novel materials and processes, product and process development, modification of existing product/process for yield improvement and/or cost reduction and any other mutually agreed area.


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

C-MET is continuously engaged in activity relating to technology transfer. It can take up pilot plant studies, market sensitization work, market survey, feasibility study, production start-up activity at client's premises, etc. so that the technologies developed within C-MET can be effectively transferred to the industry.

CONSULTANCY

C-MET can provide expert advice and trouble shooting service to the industry for various day-to-day problems, yield improvement and data interpretation.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

C-MET provides sophisticated material characterization and testing services like GD-OES, AAS, CHONS, HPLC, GPC, Ion Chromatography, XRD, XRF,SEM-EDAX, Particle Size Measurement, Porosity Measurement, LCR Measurement, etc. for the industry. It can also provide other technical services like synthesis and supply of special materials and components, leasing of equipment, fabrication of sophisticated equipments, energy audit, training to industry staff and supply of scientific and technical information.
Out of the above activities direct customer services extended by C-MET is the technical services through characterization and testing. This involves analysis of materials for its chemical composition another physical and chemical properties.

Procedure, cost/charges for testing and characterization is provided in the Annexure I. This information is also provided in made available in C-MET web site.

The person in charge of the characterization in C-MET, Pune is Dr. A. K. Viswanath, Scientist E and in other laboratories respective Director is the contact person.
